Dispatches from the Underground: February 2011
http://metalvinylnerd.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Dispatches from the Underground. Thursday, February 3, 2011. Trap Them, Black Anvil and All Pigs Must Die at Union Pool, Brooklyn. The taco van, which is adorned with dancing skeletons and other cinco de mayo themed artwork, offers some of the best soft tacos I've ever had. They also have burritos, nachos and Jarittos soda to wash down the delicious Mexican fare. Needless to say, the line at the taco van is rarely short. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening of extreme music. I'm looking forward to my...

Dispatches from the Underground: March 2011
http://metalvinylnerd.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Dispatches from the Underground. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Graf Orlock - Doombox EP. Comes housed in a fold out cardboard 1980's era ghetto blaster (see picture above)! Even the liner notes are written in an 80's style electronic equipment instruction manual. The Torche vinyl from Robotic Empire. Has always been the most impressive vinyl packaging that I've seen, but this might take the cake. So we have the theme and spirit of the age and totally over the top packaging, but what about the tunes? That was...

My friend Eric (bassist of Flourishing. Other hipsters looked dismayed as they were turned away at the door by the ridiculous wait. Bushwick is rumored to be the next. Until about 9 PM. After joking with the door guy about the authenticity of my $100 bill, I went in. Note to self: why am I always carrying large bills at shows? Announced tha...

http://metalvinylnerd.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Dispatches from the Underground. Monday, November 7, 2011. Argonauts, Torchbearer and others in New Brunswick, NJ, 10/7/2011. After a long walk through the stygian streets of NB, we rolled up on an eerily quiet house. My friend said, "this is the place? At the conclusion of DT's set, we made our way upstairs to the fresh(? The feverish tension of the evening was ready to boil over but was cooled by the noisy hardcore stylings of New Brunswick's own, Torchbearer. Yes and no. There were some surprises,...

Lineup: Nile/Immolation/Krisiun/The Dreaming Dead/1 other opening act. Location: The Trocadero Theatre, Philadelphia, PA. 8221; That was probably their most entertaining moment. The dry and tedious sound just exacerbated my anticipation for Immolation to take the stage. Needless to say it was a sight to be seen. The death was dealt...

Minus the considerable talents of Andrew Gormley. Or are they something more? On their first full length album, Fontanelle ( Paradigms Recordings. KEN mode, My America, Today is the Day, or maybe Narrows? Demian's creative streak is not unlike Aaron Turner. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). All About Friends Forever Compilation.

Dispatches from the Underground. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Old Man Gloom, Rosetta, Jim Plotkin and Argonauts at The First Unitarian Church, Philadelphia, PA, May 4, 2012. My night began at El Fuego. After El Fuego, I stopped at the liquor store across the street for some supplies. Surprisingly enough, shows at the church are still BYOB, so I always bring a few beers. I decided on a six pack of Sly Fox. Were up first. The band isn't just a Burnt by the Sun. Philly is looking dark, gritty and used up: roache...

Dispatches from the Underground: Juliet's First Hardcore Song: Can You Handle the Cuteness???
http://metalvinylnerd.blogspot.com/2012/01/juliets-first-hardcore-song-can-you.html
Dispatches from the Underground. Friday, January 20, 2012. Juliet's First Hardcore Song: Can You Handle the Cuteness? A few friends of mine on Facebook posted this viral video on their pages. At first I was skeptical but I'm glad I checked it out. Juliet is an 8 year old Aussie who loves her dog Robert, stuffed animals, trampolines and hardcore/deathcore. She knows what she likes and is confident enough to create some tunes and a video with I guess her dad? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). THE GILEAD...
